bait caster question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

this will be strictly a fresh water rig, Pan fish, crappies and bluegill. Somthing that can toss a split shot and worm 50 feet, or a 16th ounce jig. I have all shimano, my shimano baitcaster was their first issue, it's over 40 years old and still works great but it won't throw the little stuff, 1/4 ounce is probably the lightest it will toss. I would like to see the Lews Crappie reel. Level wind is nice and with left hand crank would really be nice but night now everything I have is right hand, so I cast and change hands, no big deal. I was looking at reels today at Bass Pro and ended up buying a Shimano Sedona 1000 spinning reel and 7'6" ugly stick that is very whippy. It will handle the lightest things I'm casting but I was trying to get away from spinning reels if I can. I'm probably looking for a unicorn here.
